My grading of the prop would be a 9.9 out of 10, not 9 of 10. Very fast shipping too.

I bought the bravo from basscathash, hell for 350  to my door,I couldn’t really go wrong. I needed a backup prop anyway. I do not think I will be sending my props to ronnie. I’m gonna take my fury to boat city prop shop in okc where I live. Bryan is very good at what he does and has been at it for 25 years. And he is a crazy go fast…Read more

I’m not a go fast guy. I want the lift and driveability I read about with the 4 blades.

With that being said I do want my setup correct. I talked to Kieth, from ronnie Gilbert’s prop shop. With the 24 fury, ptp at 3.625 to get to 68-69 he says I’m trimmed to high, due to my roster tail height being about 1.5 to 2 feet higher than the…Read more

Bass Cat Boats:

That is too much wheel for the new 175 four stroke engine. It will never carry a load on that rig as efficiently as other propellers will.

Please explain too much wheel? Pitch,  or the fact that it is a four blade? I really want to store up front, but currently the nose feels like it’s plowing with my gear up front.

I’m considering going to the FS and having my fury 24 3 blade as a backup. Nick from mercury racing suggested a 25, would a 25.5 or perhaps a 26 better be suited for the new 2019 175 XS 4S. I do not like carrting my tackle in the rear compartments. I want hole shot and lift and the driveability sounds good too. I’ve seen 69 and it…Read more

I have used amsoil products for over 20 years of my adult life on everything from my diesel pickup to my weed eater. In an older boat we had(85 hp evinrude) that we had to premix, that had the two removable 6 gallon tanks. We used sabre oil, which is not even recommended…Read more

They are not a bass cat dealer, they are ranger and nitro dealer and mercury marine dealer.  Talked to the sales manager, super guy btw, voiced my concern,  and he was aware of the AGM requirement. I’m going to send him pics of the original 24 series battery that w…Read more

Jeff, I am not aware of any AGM (as required by Mercury) battery that has those specs. Is that an AGM and if so, what brand is it?

</div>

It’s not an AGM battery, just normal lead acid. It’s the cranking 810 XPS from bass pro. It’s normally 194.99 and I got it for 116.

And speaking of setup, I’m curious how deep you run your motor.  Right now my prop shaft is 4.5 inches below pad. I have the 175 Pro XS 4S, so it has the additional water pickups in the nose of the LU.

I’m 190 lbs, by myself what kind of speed can I expect. And what kind of…Read more

You should have a group 31 battery for cranking and electronics, IMO. A 24 is just not going to cut it.  Get the maximum CCA and reserve that you can find. My ’17 Sabre FTD has wet cell group 31 for cranking, and two group 27s for the Fortrex 80 trolling motor. The onboard charger sh…

Thank you so much for your insight into the fish finders and batteries. Boat has the 175 pro xs 4s. The installed onboard charger is the pro marine sport 20plus 3 bank charger.

As far as my fishing styles, I know I will use the Ipilot and link to follow contour lines, for bass fishing, all the installed birds have nav.  I will also…Read more
